Anna Torv and Her Ex-husband Were Co-stars - Inside Her Relationship with Mark Valley

Mark Valley was Anna Torv's husband for a year. The actress, who is extremely quiet and protective about her private life, exchanged vows with Valley in a secret ceremony, and after a year, the couple called it quits.

Torv is a talented actress who has starred in several movies and series. Despite her popularity, Torv likes her privacy and doesn't even have a social media account. According to Torv, keeping off social media helps prevent people from invading her space.

Though Torv isn't against people who are on social media, she believes that inviting the public to her personal space wouldn't be conducive to her acting career. Torv said she only talks to the press when promoting the shows she's worked on.

Despite being cautious about people accessing her private life, her fans know some information about Mark Valley, who was Anna Torv's spouse.

Mark Valley's Acting Debut Came When He Attended the United States Military Academy

Valley was born in Ogdensburg, New York, on December 24, 1964. He graduated from West Point in 1987 with a degree in mathematics. After graduating, Valley spent most of his five-year army tour of duty in Berlin, Germany.

After the duo was married, Valley had a press conference to talk about his new wife and still referenced Torv as a fellow actor.

When he returned to his room, he was impressed with his performance; through that experience, his career took a different turn. Over the last 30 years, Valley has played several roles in different movies and series. He played a shady ex-FBI agent on the 2008 sci-fi drama series "Fringe," alongside his ex-wife.

He also played Brad Chase in the 2008 drama series "Boston Legal, " where he starred alongside James Spader and William Shatner. Valley also made a lasting impression as Eddie Arlette in the drama series "Keen Eddie," in which he starred alongside Sophie Hunter, Benedict Cumberbatch's wife.

Valley's notable performance in the series opened more acting opportunities for him. He later joined "CSI" and the "Body of Proof" drama series as a regular cast.
